Jimmy Su acknowledges that attackers are becoming more advanced every day and the technologies they use are more advanced:
“Some checks require the user to, for example, blink their left eye or look left or right, look up or look down. Today, deepfakes are advanced enough to actually carry out these commands.”
Su said the technology allows generated images to respond correctly to audio instructions designed to test whether an applicant is human. And deepfakes can do it in real time.
“Hackers are looking for a normal photo of the victim somewhere on the net. Then, with the help of a deepfake, they create a video and bypass the blockages,” says the head of the security service.
Last year, attackers tried to deceive the owners of cryptocurrency projects using a deepfake, trying to impersonate the director of public relations of Binance, Patrick Hillmann (Patrick Hillmann).
Against the background of the collapse of FTX, attackers used a fake video with the face of the founder of the exchange to promote on Twitter a site with a suspicious distribution of cryptocurrency.
